Thread: Experience question
Actually you can practice when macro-grinding. It is the quickest way to get any kind of crafting exp. There are several threads that discuss how to do this. Just remember that macro commands are case-sensitive.
With the right macros, you can set up a look that does everything except laod the resources - all you will have to do is repeatedly double-click on the resources, the macro will advance and repeat the crafting process.
To master artisan quickly, I recommend grinding crafting tools (I made clothing/armor tools) for 75 xp each (plus a few points for practice mode). Survey tools give about 55 I think. Even though you don't needed it for weaponsmiht, it is still worth getting master artisan - the two go very well together.
Once you hit novice weaponsmith, you can start grinding projectile pistol barrels (I think these give around 75 weapons crafting xp) or sword cores (55 weapon crafting xp I believe). One or two levels into firearms and you can start making projectile rifle barrels at around 90 weap crafting xp each.
Plan ahead - you are going to need a LOT of steel or other resources depending on what you are grinding.
